Ivy Mike - Wikipedia
A simplified and lightened bomb version (the EC-16) was prepared and scheduled to be tested in operation Castle Yankee, as a backup in case the non-cryogenic "Shrimp" fusion device (tested in Castle Bravo) failed to work; that test was canceled when the Bravo device was tested successfully, making the cryogenic designs obsolete.

United States History of Thermonuclear Weapons Development
Ivy Mike was deployed upon an island in the Enewetak Atoll, and yielded approximately 10.4 megatons. [1] Ivy Mike used an extra-large fission bomb as a "trigger" and liquid deuterium, as its fusion fuel.
Operation Ivy - Wikipedia
The first Ivy shot, codenamed Mike, was the first successful full-scale test of a multi-megaton thermonuclear weapon ("hydrogen bomb") using the Teller-Ulam design. Unlike later thermonuclear weapons, Mike used deuterium as its fusion fuel, maintained as a liquid by an expensive and cumbersome cryogenic system.
